i've been reading quite a bit of lovecraft recently and i can only see the faintest of connections ..
it wasnt the theme as much as the execution that bothered me ..
it just felt sloppy to me ..no where near as deft as his previous films ..it just didnt ... flow well.
and i couldnt get the 'ode to stephen king' feel out of my head either.
the 'coup de gras' was no fault of the film .... but as i mentioned before - the film was shot all around where i live ... and i was far too familiar with the sets ... for a fantasy film..
